Hollywood Finch Update

Yes, it's time for an update on my ever-so-hungry buddies, the House Finches (affectionately known here as "Hollywood Finches" with a nod to their origins---California) These little devils are still striving to replicate one of the plagues of Egypt. Like locusts, they are cleaning out the sunflower seed feeders (and safflower seed feeders as well) wherever they may be. I can't even tell you how many birds there are: plainly a dozen or more. They have done very well by me. The up side? for some time their equally ravenous cousins (the goldfinches) have been nowhere to be found. And, it is not breeding season. But y'know, they may drive me batty but they do entertain. I deserve something for all that seed outlay!
